Have you heard? Our latest issue of Discover, the official Pharm Sci Magazine, is out. In the summer issue, there was a distinct focus on the future of Pharmacy – and that means our graduating class of 2014.

In this summer’s feature, we can see how the Faculty of Pharm Sci can leave a lasting impression on many of our graduates. Six of this year’s graduates had parents who were also UBC Pharmaceuticals Alumni, demonstrating that a love for pharmacy can be passed down from one generation to the next. Our featured family – the Nolan’s – had three generations of UBC pharmacists!

For many students, the Faculty itself began to feel like family. In a piece interviewing some of our pharmacy graduates, many grads commented on the tight knit community that was created during their four years at UBC. Late nights studying, skits nights, and faculty sports matches’ fostered an environment of friendship and camaraderie.

Along with reliving some of their favourite moments with UBC Pharmacy, grads also offered advice for students remaining in the program, and gave us a glimpse of what the future holds, for themselves and for the pharmacy as a whole. They commented on the importance of exploring as many different opportunities as you can while still in school, and most were very hopefully that the future of pharmacy was going to include an expanded role for pharmacists.
